The original Ocean’s 11 was a film made simply so the Rat Pack would have something to do during the day while they were entertaining in Vegas. There was no real motive to the film other than to show The Rat Pack in their element, using a heist story as the foundation. The star power of the Chairman and his entourage was enough to make the original an immediate favorite, but it never set any standards in plotting or storytelling. Steven Soderbergh’s remake, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. A stylish script by Ted Griffin (Matchstick Men) that combines an old school slickness with a modern day narrative sizzles with wicked wordplay and is delivered by a cast who are the modern day equivalent to The Rat Pack. Only this time Clooney and company have absolutely no problem with letting you in on the fun.
